1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cardiac fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix accumulation, is a key endpoint in various cardiac diseases and is linked to energy metabolic disorders. This review explores the relationship between mitochondrial energy metabolism and cardiac fibrosis, focusing on the metabolic reprogramming in fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes during fibrosis development. We examine changes in substrate utilization, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and ATP production that characterize the fibrotic heart. The metabolic dysregulation involves disruptions in fatty acid oxidation, glucose metabolism, and amino acid metabolism, contributing to fibrosis pathogenesis. Additionally, we discuss the implications of these metabolic alterations for therapeutic strategies, highlighting the potential of targeting energy metabolism to reverse or halt cardiac fibrosis progression. By synthesizing current knowledge and identifying research gaps, this review aims to lay the groundwork for future studies and enhance therapeutic approaches for this challenging condition.
